 Rider Tip #1

STAY WARM! It can get bloody cold down in Canberra at night, (even during the day). So bring some clothes to change into between laps. You don't want to be sitting around in soggy bike gear when it's freezing. Jon Irvin  

 Rider Tip #2

A HOT WATER BOTTLE can be a great save for any chilly rider.  Melissa Phillips

Would you like to eat Free Delicious Dutch Pancakes for whole Mont weekend? Would your team mates be impressed with you if they got the same deal?

If your answer is 'Hell Yes!", then read on... Delicious Dutch Pancakes are going to sponsor a team at the Mont. All you need to do is impress the hell out of us with your writing prowess. Win, and you and your team will get free pancakes all weekend. (Note: You should probably still ride!)

In 100 words or less, convince us why you are the most worthy for sponsorship. Be creative, compelling and of course highly entertaining. What would be your team name be? Tell us what you are willing to do? Send your entry HERE! Winners announced before the event.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR...

This week Awesome Sock Guy advises us on the fundamentals of what to wear and when to wear the what. Honed over many years racing in all kinds of weather, Awesome Sock Guy knows his stuff and his sage advice will become apparent when you need it most - trackside. You won't find any fashion tips HERE

JAYCO WORK 'N PLAY

The new Work ‘N Play from Jayco looks like it was designed for mountain bikers who like to explore riding opportunities well beyond their local trails.

Boasting a generous storage area out back, you can bring along all the 'essentials' - like a quiver of bikes, a few surfboards and your fishing gear to truly round out your adventure. Go HERE
